OVERALL CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

:
PLANT AND
EQUIPMENT
Key equipment used included excavators, backhoes,
cranes, concrete mixers and pumps, bulldozers, dump
trucks, and pavers with vibratory rollers.
This equipment was crucial in digging, lifting heavy
materials, pouring and placing concrete, clearing and
leveling the site, transporting materials, and paving.
Careful planning and coordination were required to select
and use the equipment effectively.
The successful implementation of the equipment was a
testament to the project team's experience and expertise.
QUANTIFICATION OF MATERIALS AND
LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY
 MACHINERY
Excavators and Backhoes: Used for digging, earthmoving, and
demolition to create space for the stadium's seating, field, and
infrastructure.
Cranes: Various cranes were used, including tower and mobile cranes,
to lift heavy materials and equipment into place.
Concrete Mixers and Pumps: Used to pour and place large volumes of
concrete quickly to ensure the stadium's structure was strong and
durable.
Bulldozers: Used to clear the site, level the ground, and create a stable
foundation for the stadium. They were also used to move large amounts
of earth and soil around the site.
Dump Trucks: Used to transport materials and debris around the site,
keeping the site clean and organized and ensuring timely delivery of
materials.
Pavers and Vibratory Rollers: Used to lay asphalt and pave the parking
lots around the stadium. Vibratory rollers were used to compact the soil
and asphalt, ensuring a smooth and even surface.
ICT AND AUTOMATION
ICT refers to the use of technology to
communicate, manage information, and
automate processes in construction.

Examples of ICT used in Motera

Stadium construction: Building
Information Modeling (BIM), 3D
modeling software, drones for
surveying and monitoring construction
progress.
ICT AND AUTOMATION
Automation refers to the use of technology to perform tasks that would
otherwise require human intervention.

Examples of Automation used in Motera Stadium construction:

Prefabrication of precast concrete panels, use of robotic equipment for
welding and cutting steel.

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) and

automation in construction can help improve efficiency, reduce costs,
and enhance safety. In the case of Motera Stadium, the use of ICT and
automation played a crucial role in completing the project on time and
within budget.
BIM
BIM is a digital representation of a building's physical
and functional characteristics
Construction team used BIM software to create a
detailed model of Motera Stadium
Model included information about materials,
equipment, systems, design, and layout
BIM was used to plan and coordinate various stages of
construction
It was also used to simulate the construction process
and identify potential issues beforehand.
 STRATEGIES

Contour crafting was used to create Construction team used automated

concrete molds using 3D printing. It manufacturing processes to prefabricate
involved using a robotic arm to layer many stadium components, including
concrete in a pre-determined pattern to seating sections and steel structures
create a 3D object.

3D PRINTING DRONES
 STRATEGIES
Construction team used automated
manufacturing processes to prefabricate
many stadium components, including seating
sections and steel structures
PREFABRICATION
A robot was used to cut and shape steel
components for the stadium. The robot was
equipped with a plasma cutter and a
computer-controlled arm for high-accuracy
steel cutting.
ROBOTICS
The implementation of ICT and automation played a critical role in the construction of
Motera Stadium.

The use of ICT and Automation in the construction of Motera Stadium

enabled faster construction
reduced costs
increased precision
improved safety
TIME OF COMPLETION:

The project was initiated in November 2015 and was completed in February
2020, with a total construction time of around 4 years.
The stadium was completed within the stipulated deadline of 36 months,
despite
facing some delays due to issues related to land acquisition and
environmental clearances.
The precast construction technique helped to reduce the construction time
by almost 2 years compared to traditional construction methods.
SAFETY PERFORMANCE
ANALYSIS :
The stadium's architecture incorporates safety features
such as the ability to evacuate up to 50,000 people in
less than 7 minutes in the case of an emergency.

The stadium's design also includes measures to prevent

stampedes, such as multiple entry and exit points and
clear signage.

The stadium has been built to withstand natural

disasters such as earthquakes.

Overall, safety was given due consideration during the

construction of the Motera Stadium, with measures taken
to ensure the safety of workers, visitors, and nearby
residents.
CHALLENGES FACED AND STRATEGIES USED :

The stadium was built To increase seating To be completed The total cost of

LAND DESIGN TIME COST

ACQUISITION CHALLENGES CONSTRAITS : CONSTRAITS :

LAND ACQUISITION :
The process of acquiring the land was
complicated due to negotiations with each
landowner and in some cases, government
intervention was required.
The civic body ADU planned to merge two
town planning (TP) schemes and procure
land through an exchange.
More than 21 private and public plots
around the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium
were identified for this purpose.
The necessary changes in the TP schemes
were initiated to enable this acquisition
process.
DESIGN CHALLENGES :
The city of Ahmedabad is located in seismic
zone 3, the roof needed to be lightweight to
reduce seismic demand and develop an
economical roof system.
It was decided that the best option would
be to incorporate a lightweight cable-
supported tensile membrane roof
supported by steel columns.
The radial cables are aligned in such a way
that rainwater flows over the membrane
and drains into the gutter positioned along
the lower chord of the compression ring

FINANCIAL DETAILS:
Debt- Equity Ratio : Debt equity ratio is 25:75 for the project
Debt cost has been taken at 14%
GST of 18% has been considered for taxation
Debt repayment considered as 7 years
Parking and clubhouse will be constructed in the first year. Parking will be given on lease till the
commissioning of the project and during the non-match days. Also, membership of clubhouse has been
started.
Also some number of corporate boxes are pre-sold.
It is important to note, however, that cost overruns are not uncommon in large construction projects, and
may be due to a variety of factors such as changes in design, unexpected delays, or unforeseen construction
challenges. A detailed cost performance analysis would be needed to determine the specific reasons for the
cost overruns in this case.
COST ANALYSIS :

• The stadium cost roughly 800 crore rupees to construct. (around 110 million
USD).
• Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and its joint venture partner, Populous, a US-based
architecture firm, completed the project.
• Based on the given cost statistics, it appears that the Motera Stadium project
may have encountered cost overruns. The stadium's initial budget was at 7 billion
INR (approximately $95 million USD), although the final cost is said to be closer to
8 billion INR (approximately $110 million USD).
COST ANALYSIS :
Top Down Approach is used for cost estimation.
Total cost of the project, 800 Cr (execution cost -
662.62 Cr+ consultancy Fees ,overheads) , is
further broken down into work package cost and
further upto activity level
For the activity cost breakdown, BOQ of Etawah
Stadium is used for comparison (project cost :
222.2 Cr)

METHOD : The activity cost of a work package was divided by the total work package cost for getting a
ration, which was then multiplied with Motera stadium cost breakdown to reach to an activity level cost
breakdown.
Cost breakdown was done considering locational index.
